Goodbye Provo...

If someone had told me when I was 16 that I would spend the first 5 1/2 years of marriage in Utah I would have laughed in their face. "Utah Mormons" annoyed me, I don't like being away from my family, and what on earth would take me there?!

Now, I miss it. I miss the family we were around out there, and I miss our friends. And you know, living near civilization. :)

We had a good life in Provo. It's where Andy and I started our married life, where we experienced lots of ghetto living (like our first apartment that had fake walls!), started our family, started the blog!, made the best friends, Andy graduated from BYU twice, and lots of other awesome things, I'm sure. We were very happy there.

We look gigantic next to Jordan and Amelia...We're not that huge, and they're not that short. But it's kind of a funny picture!! :)
It's sad for us to leave, and also happy. Because it means we get to be close to a lot of other family members, but it means we had to leave everything we were familiar with and the people we are close to.We're excited for new adventures and re-familiarizing ourselves with Missouri, and the boys...well, not so much Jack yet...so Avery is loving being around all the cousins to play with!

Right now, we're living in an apartment in Andy's parents attic. It's working out nicely. We love all the time we've been able to spend with family so far. We've got some touch up work to do, after that I'll take pictures and post them. We're excited to see what the future holds!
So, Goodbye Provo. Thanks for the good times! :)

ummm, that's really funny. I didn't notice how short we looked. Really we are pretty short...Are you taller than Jordan even? I'm excited to see pictures of the new place.

And I just remembered how it took us like a year to actually talk to each other.

You've been out there so long, it's hard to leave! I bet Hamilton is so quiet to you now. We haven't had to move once since we've been married, and even though I don't like this house, I'm sure I will cry when I leave it!

We are going to miss you guys tons, but hopefully we'll be getting out to MO more anyway.

I love the photo with Andy and his dad in the truck!
